Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of testing Bacopa monnieri response to abiotic stress factors and for testing bioactivity of natural, synthetic and semisynthetic compounds using Bacopa monnieri plant, which comprises growing the said plant and plant parts aseptically in MS 0 basal medium with agar in microcentrifuge tubes by adding the compounds to be tested either to the culture media or by spraying the said compounds on the plant or plant parts or on the said medium to detect the distinct morphological and cytological responses.
